  • XP pro sp3 run asr, but didn't start; files for the recovery diskette could not be created

    I had previously asr has been successfully run on the same configuration but have decided to update the recovery data. I tried to restart the asr by clicking Start, all programs, accessories, system, backup tools. The Backup Wizard appears and I clicked on Advanced Mode. Then followed the backup utility page, I clicked on the ASR Wizard. The next page has been the preparation of Recovery Wizard, I clicked next and was presented with the option of backup destination and, after finishing the backup destination, I clicked Next. My page was last option; End of the ASR Wizard, I clicked Finish. Backup went into his usual preamble but almost instantly a warning box came up with the message "files for the recovery diskette can not be created." I am running xp pro sp3 as I had been for the creation of the previously successful GDR.

    I also tried using the Backup Wizard and I clicked on backup all information on this computer (this option automatically provides ASR) and followed the instructions of the wizard through to the end and the failure has been the same.

    I found a solution to my problem of ASR. If I was not able to create an asr backup, I was still able to run Ntbackup. I've saved my OS drive then ran repair with the XP Professional installation cd. Backup ASR works now.

    OK, I had to reinstall all them that updates the Knowledge Base Microsoft and also all the Service Packs. One or two of the plug-and-play applications were a bit annoying, but be as I have all the installation cd, other than being tedious, have all been re-installed and the system is now as good as new.

  • Cannot move all the files as windows explore crashes - it happens every time when you use an external hard drive (several readers have been tested and work on other machines)

    I need to move files on my laptop, but windows crashes Explorer everytime I try this. This also applies when you use an alternative program to explore. It didn't happen last week but regularly spent the last six months. It is now that I need to migrate these files (mainly the images, but also the music and office documents).

    The error in the Event Viewer log States the following: start the application failing application Explorer.EXE, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e01da5, failed module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, offset 0x02db07e0, process id 0 x 1650 error, time 0x01ca547fd1de6851.

    Make sure that the device is compatible with Vista, the Vista Compatibility Center: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/default.aspx.

    If you need to get pilots to leave the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.  You need to find the NAS device and the NICs in particular - but it would not hurt to look at all the when you're there.

    Go to start / Control Panel / Add Hardware and select the first option (recommended) to see if the system can detect the device.  If this does not work, choose the second and provide the information requested on the device.  You will be asked for drivers - have their practice.  Follow the prompts to install the device (NAS).  Make sure that it is plugged in and turned on when you do so, or he not be recognized.  It's the hard way of installing a hardware device, but your system obviously isn't automatically recognize it then do it manually. Here is a brief tutorial on how to do so: http://www.web-articles.info/e/a/title/Windows-Vista :-Running-the-Add-Hardware-Wizard /.

  • message "your purchase could not be completed" when you try to install Adobe Reader from the Windows store

    I try to install Adobe Reader Touch to my Surface installed Pro Windows 8.1 Microsoft Windows store.  I get the following message is displayed:

    "Your purchase could not be executed.

    Something has happened and it's impossible to make your purchase.  "Error code: 0 x 080070057.

    Only, this seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader Touch.  I was able to install applications from other vendors and Adobe (for example, Photoshop Express to the elements).  So it doesn't seem to be a problem with my Adobe account, or a problem with Windows Store system.

    Anyone have this problem?  All solutions?

    THX.

    Hi jjquinn75

    I recommend contacting Microsoft about this error message as it is returned by the windows store program.

    Furthermore, I you recommend to download the installer for Adobe reader offline using this link (Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution ) and then try to install on your device pro surface.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    I just upgraded my Flash Builder to 4.6. Since the upgrade I get the following error right when I run my web files through debugging:

    ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Transform3DController is not defined.

    Global / flash.utils::getDefinitionByName()

    I don't know if it came from the new update to the constructor or if it comes to liberate an issue with the new 11,1,102,55 Flash Player. It seems that when I arrived to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ it does not even load the flash movie.

    I'm on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 and I use chrome for most, but this problem also occurs in FireFox.

    Does anyone have ideas to wtf is happening?

    This is Firebug Firebug/Flash, the origin of the problem. I had to remove completely all firebug on the addons of firefox so that he stop throwing the error.

  • "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed" when you use Windows Mail

    Original title: loss of entrance of Protocol in the list of saved files

    I use an old Toshiba laptop of two year with Vista as an operating system. It came with a trial version of Microsoft Office already installed. I had no use for it then after the trial expires I uninstalled. This seems to have created a minor problem with the e-mail program. When I visit a Web site and click on 'Contact us' I get an error message as follows "cannot perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed." I suspect strongly as during the uninstallation of office he removed a protocol in the list entry, similarly, the bottom of the list of the saved files. A check with other similar computers with Vista installed seems to confirm this. If someone at - it a quick fix to this problem? I don't want to resort to installing a whole new email software to fix this minor problem if I can avoid it.

    Hello Karena R, yesterday, I downloaded and installed Windows Live Mail, and I must say that I prefer Windows Mail Live Mail program. After making sure that Live Mail is the deafult for all messaging functions and that the entry "Mail Protocol" was now back to the list of saved files, I checked the problem mentioned in my original post. He is not fixed! Another small problem is fixed now if. In my "drafts" mailbox I have some e-mails stored there and when I click on one of them upwards now comes an email with the appropriate address inserted in the address line. Who could not before. I used to get this error message, which is now the new title of my post. So why the difference when I click on email address that I find on Web sites? Now, I also find that by Michael following the instructions (below), I do not see an entry "mailto" but his suggestion to step d. type in "URL Protocol" is not appropriate because it is already there. The installation of an entirely new email software should have my computer all the necessary entries for the new program to function properly in all respects. So what's happening? It begins to look as if uninstalling the program Office has pulled something real Vista operating system.

    It's a good thing, I thought of the research on other boards for my missing post.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\mailto

    c. in the Edit menu, select new, then clickstring goodwill.

    d. type of Protocol of URL as the name of the new string value

    e. exit the registry editor

    This behavior is caused by the white dots on the right side of the page master, forcing the content area (and thus the scroll in the browser area) is much wider than what you want.
